Groundswell Talks
Provisions Library is an arts and social change learning resource that amplifies compelling voices that challenge and redefine the mainstream. Don Russell is the organization’s Executive Director; we spoke with him about radical social change, and how it can be catalyzed and facilitated by a library.  How does Provisions summarize and disseminate lessons from social movements?  What makes their work possible, and how do they sustain in the nonprofit environment?
